New technology and innovation promises to drive significant benefit across the asset lifecycle, but successful implementation means navigating challenges from operating silos & data disconnects to scaling across thousands of assets, all while recognising the importance of the 'human element'. Host Eoin O'Murchu is joined by Renato Zandro from SAP, and Barry Middleton, a PwC director with a focus on technology and asset management, to discuss the challenges and opportunities in selecting and implementing technology across the asset lifecycle.

Reimagining Capital Projects

S3E1 - Technology: Unlocking value across the Asset lifecycle

Building Information Modelling (BIM) seems to have an image problem. As a process for creating and managing digital information on a construction project across the project lifecycle, it enables those who interact with the asset to optimise their actions, resulting in a greater whole life value for the asset. So, why is it so misunderstood? Our host Eoin Ó Murchú is joined by Jon Kerbey, BIM Director at HS2 and Andrew Walker, a digital consultant within PwC’s capital projects team, to discuss the benefits of BIM, including efficiency savings.

S2E5 - How space-as-a-service is changing the real estate sector

S2E4 - What's the point in BIM?

Cycle hire and public bike share schemes are thriving in many towns and cities across the globe. The bikes and their infrastructure are a valuable source of data, that can help identify faster and safer routes, reduce costs for maintenance and provide seamless customer journeys. In our latest podcast, host Eoin Ó Murchú is joined by Philip Ellis, Co-founder and CEO of Beryl and Kirsty Gladwyn, a Transport Consultant at PwC and previously operational director for the London cycle hire scheme, to talk about how technology and data analytics is positively disrupting urban transport.

S2E3 - When is a bike, not a bike?

Data insights are having an ever more important role in real estate and infrastructure. Utilising and understanding a wide variety of data sources - such as mobile, credit card and travel data - can directly impact the planning and management of your assets. In our latest podcast, host Eoin Ó Murchú is joined by Gary Martin, Head of Strategy and Operations, Central London Portfolio for The Crown Estate and Megan Higgins, Director of Customer & Retail Analytics at PwC. Together they discuss the value that data insights can bring to real estate and how analysing data on Bond Street, London helped the New West End Company plan for the future.

S2E2 - Turning data into insight and insight into action

Our latest podcast explores how the construction industry could unlock the potential of Blockchain, disrupting industry standard contract and payment models, through securing transaction history data and enabling innovation such as SMART contracts and cryptocurrency. Featuring Darya Bahram of the Construction Blockchain Consortium and PwC Digital Consultants Eoin Ó Murchú and Matt Saunders. To find out more click here http://www.pwc.co.uk/reimagine
